The Light On The Shore 가사

Old as I am Older than the threads of understanding Which we weave between us Old as you are Older by far than the contours of the love Which we leave behind us Bold as I am Bolder than the pioneers Who trekked their way across the desert Bold as you are Bolder by far than the lovers Who have swum the tide to be together Are we old enough and bold enough to say good-bye? Are we old enough and bold enough that we do not need to cry? Well, I'm not so old and not so bold I don't need you more Now the light is slowly beckoning you to the shore Cold is the ground For which you're bound It's a place where we can never more be together Cold is the air That takes you there On a passage that will end with your end forever But it's not so cold I do not feel the warmth of your skin And it's not so cold I do not know the fires that burn within you Though they are fading now, I wish that they would blaze once more And keep you from the light that's slowly beckoning you to the shore If I could sail the seas of time, then I would keep you from harm But I am no sailor and I cannot warn you Though there is nothing in my life I ever wanted more Than to keep you from the light that's slowly beckoning you Than to shield you from the light that's slowly beckoning you to the shore
